Chukka Boot with Steel Toe Cap and Mid Sole - Size 5
A steel toe cap chukka safety boot built for warehouse, logistics, and construction operatives who need reliable protection without sacrificing comfort across a full shift. The steel toecap and steel penetration resistant midsole protect against impact, compression, and underfoot punctures, whilst the dual density PU outsole provides fuel oil resistance and slip resistance on demanding surfaces. Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 S3 FO SR, CE and UKCA marked.
How the steel midsole protects against underfoot hazards
Standard safety boots without a protective midsole leave the sole of the foot exposed to nails, screws, and sharp debris commonly found on construction and warehouse floors. A single puncture through an unprotected sole can put an operative out of action and trigger a site incident report. The steel penetration resistant midsole in this boot sits beneath the foot, stopping sharp objects from passing through before they reach the skin.
Key Features

Who is this for
This boot is specified for warehouse operatives, facilities management teams, and construction site workers who need certified impact, compression, and penetration protection throughout a full shift. It suits environments where the floor surface presents underfoot puncture risks, such as active construction sites, distribution warehouses, and vehicle workshops, and where fuel oil or diesel contact is a routine part of the working day. Site managers specifying footwear for operatives working around plant, pallets, or loading bays will find the steel midsole and toecap combination meets standard S3 requirements without needing a supplementary rating.
Typical applications
- Warehouse picking and loading duties where pallets, cages, and forklift traffic present impact and compression risk to the feet.
- Construction site groundwork involving loose fixings, nails, and building debris underfoot.
- Vehicle workshop and automotive maintenance work with routine fuel oil and diesel contact on the floor surface.
- Facilities management duties across mixed indoor and outdoor site environments.
- General site walking and standing duties across gravel, hardstanding, and unfinished floor surfaces.
- Loading bay and logistics operations involving frequent contact with metal fixings, straps, and pallet debris.
How to use
Step 1: Confirm the boot is Size 5 before ordering, as this is the only size available for this line.
Step 2: Lace the boot fully, ensuring the padded ankle collar sits comfortably without pinching.
Step 3: Check the toecap and midsole sit correctly under the foot before beginning work, with no slippage inside the boot.
Step 4: Inspect the upper and outsole before each shift for cracking, splitting, or separation at the sole bond.
Step 5: Replace the boot when the toecap becomes exposed, the outsole tread wears smooth, or the upper leather splits.
Common mistakes
- Ordering the wrong size without checking stock, since this line is available in Size 5 only and cannot be exchanged for another size.
- Continuing to wear a boot with a worn or smooth outsole, which reduces the SR slip resistance rating in wet or oily conditions.
- Assuming fuel oil resistance means chemical resistance, when the FO rating covers oil and diesel contact only, not chemical immersion.
- Storing boots wet after use, which accelerates leather deterioration and breaks down the adhesive sole bond over time.
Safety
Certified to EN ISO 20345:2022 S3 FO SR, CE and UKCA marked. The steel toecap provides 200 joule impact and compression protection. The steel midsole protects against penetration from nails, screws, and sharp debris. FO and SR ratings confirm fuel oil resistance and slip resistance, but the boot is not rated for chemical immersion, extreme heat, or cut hazard protection to the upper.
Maintenance
Clean the upper and sole with a brush and warm water to remove mud and debris. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat such as radiators, since heat damages the leather and adhesive bond. Apply a leather nourishment or dubbin wax periodically to prevent the upper from drying out. Inspect the toecap, midsole, and outsole tread before each shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the S3 FO SR rating actually mean?
A: S3 confirms the boot meets the highest common safety class for leather footwear under EN ISO 20345:2022, including a steel toecap rated to 200 joules, a penetration resistant midsole, and a closed heel area. FO confirms the outsole resists fuel oil and diesel contact without degrading. SR confirms slip resistance has been tested and passed. Together, these three codes are the minimum specification typically required on construction and warehouse sites in the UK.
Q: What is this boot NOT suitable for?
A: This boot is not rated for chemical immersion, extreme heat, or molten metal environments. It does not provide cut protection to the upper against blades or sharp materials, and it is not a waterproof boot suitable for sustained standing water or submersion.
Q: Why choose a steel midsole boot over one without penetration protection?
A: A boot without a protective midsole leaves the sole of the foot exposed to nails, screws, and sharp debris common on construction and warehouse floors. The steel midsole in this boot stops sharp objects before they reach the foot, reducing the risk of a puncture injury that could otherwise result in a site incident and lost time.
Q: Is the chukka style suitable for full ankle support?
A: The chukka height provides moderate ankle coverage with a padded collar, offering more support than a low-cut safety shoe whilst remaining lighter and less restrictive than a full safety boot. It suits operatives who want ankle protection without the weight of a taller boot.
Q: How should I check the boot still meets its safety rating over time?
A: Inspect the outsole tread depth regularly, as a worn smooth sole reduces the SR slip resistance rating. Check the upper for splits or separation at the sole bond, and confirm the toecap has not become exposed through wear. Replace the boot once any of these signs appear.
Q: How long should this boot last under regular site use?
A: Service life depends on the environment and how the boot is maintained. Daily contact with fuel oil, water, or abrasive surfaces will wear the outsole and upper faster than occasional use. Cleaning after each use and drying away from direct heat extends the working life of the leather and sole bond significantly.
Q: Can I order this boot in a different size?
A: No. This listing is Size 5 only. For other sizes, contact the CMT Group sales team to check availability across the wider safety footwear range.
